THE CARB.WAS REBUILT BUT HAD BEEN ON THE SHELF A COUPLE OF YEARS.I BLEW OUT THE PLUG HOLES AND TRIED THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN,GUESS WHAT NO LEAKS.I AM DUMFOUNDED.ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED ,AS I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE AS I HAVE SPENT A FEW BUCKS TO GET IT TO A PERFORMANCE LEVEL.

I would re-check your float levels sice it has been sitting for a while.To be honest I am surprised it is not leaking everywhere.
